Abstract
[Problems] To provide a multilayered plastic container which exhibits excellent oxygen-barrier property of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer to a sufficient degree without the need of providing a special adhesive layer, and which, when a polyolefin resin is used to form the inner and outer layers, too, not only permits the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer to be effectively used but also makes it very easy to set the conditions for satisfying predetermined properties.[Means for Solution] A multilayered plastic container comprising an oxygen-barrier layer of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer that serves as a matrix and an adhesive intermediate layer of a blend of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and a maleic anhydride-modified olefin resin neighboring each other between an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein both the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer used for forming said oxygen-barrier layer and the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer used for forming said adhesive intermediate layer have an ethylene content of 20 to 60 mol %; and said adhesive intermediate layer contains said ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and the maleic anhydride-modified olefin resin at a weight ratio o…
